digiKam Software Collection 3.5.0 released...

Submitted by digiKam on Thu, 2013-10-10 15:30

Dear all digiKam fans and users!

digiKam team is proud to announce the release of digiKam Software Collection 3.5.0.
This version is a bug-fix release, as we are currently busy to complete all GSoC 2013 projects for next major release 4.0.0. Look in Release plan for details...

Will all GSoC 2013 projects be included in 4.0.0? Looking at the linked website I couldn't figure out which of these projects were successfull. I wonder in particular about the tag manager, the local adjustment tool and the HDR plugin.

I used to make packages for Ubuntu on my PPA but since the Kubuntu team started including them on their PPA I stopped. No use to have doublet of packages on PPAs. I see now that they only have Digikam 3.3 packed. I use my own packages of Digikam 3.5 for Ubuntu 13.04 (raring) but they not avalible anyware online for the moment.

I find it a bit of exaggeration to introduce a new minor version number for 5 fixed bugs. Why do you specify a three-tier version number ("3.4.0") at all if there will never be a bugfix version release (e.g. "3.4.1")?

I'm not complaining about lack of new features, on the contrary, I'm very happy with Digikam the way it is. But I would expect more from a minor version bump.

And why does it hang forever on my Mac since version 3.4 before even showing the thumbnails? Even after a new installation of both MacOS and macports and removing the old database and thumbnail cache the situation is the same... (I cannot find where the main configuration is stored.)
